Josée is an amazing lactation consultant! She helped me get started with breastfeeding over FaceTime and text, making some adjustments to my technique that made a WORLD of difference in getting my baby fed after I initially struggled (and panicked, a lot). Over the last 8 months, she has provided a ton of support and incredibly helpful information around my milk supply and various other random questions I had. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and responsive. Highly recommend!
Josée has been so helpful in assessing my sons tongue tie and getting us on a great plan to boost my supply. Shes has a warm and comforting presence and is so easy to be around. She really listens and cares, checks in and responds quickly. I highly recommend her!
We are so glad we found Josée! Nursing my 2 week old was going ok, but we had a number of areas that felt like they could be improved. I called Josée, and she offered some very helpful advice right on the phone and then was able to come to our house the next afternoon. She was professional, on time, and wore a mask and followed COVID safety protocols. We felt very safe with her. Our consultation was super helpful, and she gave us lots of great advice, tips on how to improve the babys latch and feeding, and advice that has really improved my (and babys) nursing experience. She has also remained really helpful and responsive over email as things have come up! We are so grateful that we found her and she was available to come help us when we needed it most - thank you Josée!
I came to Josee when I had my son, and now again with my daughter. She’s incredibly positive and supportive, and provides a wealth of knowledge and advice.
Not only was Josée incredibly helpful, she is also exceedingly kind and thoughtful. Our consultation felt like chatting with an old friend and I left feeling more confident and armed with tools that worked for me and my son! Couldnt recommend her more!
I can honestly say that breastfeeding has been one of the biggest challenges I have faced as a new mom. I had this very romantic idea of effortlessly latching my new baby onto my breast and nature would just take it from there. Unfortunately, that was not how it happened. The minute we put our sweet little boy to my breast he rejected it immediately. We worked with the lactation consultants in the hospital but once we got home we were lost and I was in quite a bit of pain (to say the least).We called Josée searching for answers and she came into our home and immediately instilled a sense of calm. Without her wonderful guidance I can honestly say we would not be where we are today. Josée is kind, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She is professional and honestly just a lovely human being. She continually checks in on us to monitor our progress and she always makes her self available to answer any questions that come up (also my son loved her instantly, like seriously instantly). Breastfeeding can be so challenging and there is so much to learn but with Josée you have this wonderful guide to get you to where you want to be.Thank you Josée from the bottom of my heart. You are such a wonderful person and lactation consultant. I cannot recommend you enough!
Josee is an amazing lactation consultant!! I consulted with her because I thought I was battling ongoing issues with thrush, and wasnt sure if my then 3 month old was latching correctly. She was able to see that I was actually dealing with vasospasm, not thrush and gave us many things to work on with positioning the baby better and some recommendations for supplements and I have been symptom free ever since! I even had some issues a few days later I emailed her about and she helped me trouble shoot right away and we were able to move through that very quickly and easily. I cannot say enough great things about her and would recommend her to everyone! Shes great at her job and truly cares!!
I first contacted Josée when my daughter was a month old through the recommendation of another IBCLC. Although premature and tiny, her weight gain was actually really great, but I was having severe nipple pain and her latch/eating habits were not sustainable. She was very responsive, kind, encouraging and willing to go the extra mile to not only help me, but make me feel like I wasnt alone with my breastfeeding struggles (or at the mercy of google). Josée was able to come to my house the next day to watch a nursing session with my daughter and fixed her latch on the spot. With a couple other recommendations, I was pain free in a few days! She also suggested having my daughter evaluated for tongue and lip ties and recommended an amazing pediatric dentist to see, who determined that she did in fact, have a tongue tie which we had revised, and which also improved things a lot. Josée returned to my home after that for a follow up visit, which made me feel so much better about everything and after a few weeks of swapping emails (about a sweet baby who screamed all night from hunger, but refused to eat!) we were finally in a really great groove with breastfeeding! More recently, Ive had a lot of bad luck with illness, mastitis, blebs and stress - and my supply has taken a pretty big hit, which was devastating for me. I contacted Josée again and she was quick to respond with some helpful tips and lots of encouragement which have started to improve things and made me hopeful that we can continue our journey for the next year. Breastfeeding is so important to me, and shes helped to make it not only sustainable for me, but something really special Im able to share with and do for my daughter. Lactation Consultants like Josée are worth their weight in gold. Im so lucky I found her!
I highly recommend Josee. She was very responsive and arranged to come to our house within 24 hours of us contacting her (on a Sunday morning no less!). Her advice was invaluable and quickly resolved the issues we were having. She was also very responsive to follow up questions.
My baby girl and I had been having trouble for weeks before I found Josée, and I wish wed found her sooner! After working with her my daughter is like a whole new baby! Josée is incredibly knowledgable and professional, and really listens to her clients. She immediately diagnosed my daughter with a tongue tie and referred us to a pediatric dentist for a second opinion/possible surgery, and stayed in touch throughout the whole process. She is absolutely lovely to work with and really cares about the wellbeing of the mothers and babies she works with!
Where to even begin? Josée is hands down the best resource for breastfeeding and lactation support. I had many issues and roadblocks with my first child and ended up exclusively pumping for 18 months. I was very discouraged with my second child when we started experiencing identical issues right from day 1 (severe painful latch, nipple cracking, tongue tie, transfer issues with milk, low supply, slow weight gain, etc) - you name it, we had those problems. Josées positive demeanor, extensive knowledge and encouragement literally saved my breastfeeding relationship this time around. She came to our home for multiple appts, and guided me on everything from figuring out a better latch, positioning, increasing my supply, tongue tie revision referral, etc. I was doubtful it would work as I had experienced all the issues before, but she knew what she was doing and kept me on course when I wanted to give up. Around 5 weeks, it all turned around and now at 10 weeks, my baby has been nursing like a champ and gaining weight well. It has been a dream of mine to nurse one of my children and Josée helped make that dream a reality and I will forever be grateful. If you need an IBCLC, she is the best and worth every penny.
Josee is a patient, kind, and knowledgeable LC!! i was referred to her after contacting dr. jack newman and im very grateful!! i was experiencing recurring clogged ducts-- many many many with my third baby. although it was not my first baby, it was my first journey with clogged ducts. i so appreciated how josee listens and asks questions to understand fully what my challenges were. her insight and advice were so very very helpful. my frequency of having clogged ducts decreased!! and, i have not had a clogged duct in awhile!! im so very grateful!!
